Clark’s Terrace Assisted Living

Clark’s Terrace at The Park Danforth is Assisted Living at its best, ideal for those who can no longer live alone or are in need of special assistance with their daily routines. Here you can enjoy an intimate, friendly and flexible program that lovingly caters to your personal needs.

Named for Samuel Clark, Jr., a visionary and generous benefactor, the Clark’s Terrace Assisted Living Program offers social and personal services that serve as a welcome haven for respite, healthy recuperation or simply as a much-needed break from the rigors of everyday living. The around-the-clock staff is dedicated to supporting each individual’s personal dignity and independence.

Whether Standard or Deluxe, each of our 36 private suites features a kitchenette complete with refrigerator and microwave, a private bath and an emergency call system. Standard suites provide a combined living and sleeping area, while Deluxe suites feature more spacious accommodations or a separate sleeping room.

Dining

Clark’s Terrace offers three meals per day, including either a full breakfast menu or lighter fare served in the privacy of your own suite. Take lunch and dinner in the Terrace Dining Room, or enjoy your evening meal fireside in our elegant main dining room on the first floor.
